Smart people at work????

Case #1
I was LAMENTING big time a few days ago on having to download and test our company test on my OWN LAPTOP! I have no intention to test but with the anal boss' insistence and prevent unnecessary trouble with her, I LL got to do it.

When i emailed the IT manager on the error msg i got while testing. His reply was, "It s not really an error msg but it occurred as we DUN have enough licenses for you people to WORK FROM HOME!!!" I was like, "WTF!!! Dun even have the resources and asked us to test!" I sacrificed my beauty sleep just to test all the bloody applications and such response... Sheesh, waste of time!

Case #2
Just received an email from HR on the appropriate dressing attire for casual Friday, below is an excerpt of the email:

Acceptable
-----------------
- jeans (without holes/frays)
- denim skirts (without holes/frays)
- casual slacks (i.e. Khakis, Dockers etc.)
- full-length tights
- knee or 3/4 length pants
- t-shirts with collars/Polo shirts
- soccer jerseys (but must have collars)
- covered footwear, e.g. moccasins

Not Acceptable
-----------------------
- shorts of any kind
- ultra mini shirt => Bra top????
- tube tops (unless covered with a coatie or jacket)
- halter-tops (unless covered with a coatie or jacket)
- shirts with inappropriate slogans or captions
- muscle shirts and crop tops
- exercise/gym attire => No track shoes since its gym attire?? Contradicts the above point of wearing covered footwear???
- flip-flops/slippers
- no open sandals (for men)
=> Sandals are already open toed!!!!


When we saw this email, it served as a stress relief to all of us. The above comments are our conclusion... There is even more but I can't exactly remember it!!!!

That goes to show how smart some people are at work!
